- bhj 5y agoSadly some WD drives specced as 5400RPM are actually 7200RPM. Luckily, acoustics don't lie: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/ikk0rv/psa_multiple_wd_5400rpm_drives_are_actually/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/ikk0rv/psa_mul...
- dragontamer 5y agoUnfortunately... it turns out WD is lying to you about 5400 RPM as well. A lot of those 5400 RPM drives are just lower-performance 7200 RPM drives. So you end up eating the power-costs and noise for no actual benefit. This company has consistently screwed its customers over for short-term gain over and over again.
